Each January, tech companies and members of the press descend on Las Vegas for a festival of demos and concepts. There's plenty to see at CES 2024 (here are our CES favorites so far), but many of the products unveiled at the show won't be available in stores until much later -- if ever.

Luckily for us, there's plenty of useful tech doesn't that's ready to hit digital and physical store shelves.

Amateur stargazers can already order Unistellar's new Odyssey and Odyssey Pro telescopes announced this week at CES.

Just note that only the Odyssey Pro has an optical viewfinder, whereas the Odyssey requires you to use the accompanying app.
